It's been awhile since I've participated in a SCS color challenge. It's been a difficult couple of weeks for my family and my heart hasn't been into creating like it usually is. But when I saw the colors, I made myself enter my craft room. I'm not sure what happened since this isn't my usually style... I went crazy! LOL! And I had fun! Thanks for the push, Joanne

Jen, this is beautiful! I'm sorry things have not been the best for you & your family....and hope that happy days are around the corner.
I think the softness of today's colors lend themselves so well to cards with gentle, thoughtful sentiments like yours. I love how your stamped and embossed the bg panel behind the sweet florals. A truly lovely card.

I really like your layout, the layers and framing brings out the beauty of these soft, pretty colors - I also love this sentiment, I haven't seen it before. I hope it's helped to create something beautiful in the middle of your troubles, and I hope and pray things will soon be much, much better.
